Dynamics of Plate Tectonics and Mantle Convection, written by specialists in the field, gathers state-of-the-art perspectives on the dynamics of plate tectonics and mantle convection. Plate tectonics is a unifying theory of solid Earth sciences. In its initial form, it was a kinematic theory that described how the planet’s surface is fragmented into several rigid lithospheric plates that move in relation to each other over the less viscous asthenosphere. Plate tectonics soon evolved to describe the forces that drive and resist plate movements. The Earth sciences community is now developing a new perspective that looks at plate tectonics and mantle convection as part of a single system. Why...

History of Climate Change

Theories and opinions about climate change abound – from those claiming human-induced climate change is already beyond control to those who express scepticism about the real extent of these changes. How should we weigh up the scientific evidence, and what role does climate change play in the history of the Earth? In this comprehensive history of the climate and climate change, Antonello Provenzale explains how the planetary climate system works and how the climate has evolved over millions of years. Starting from the catastrophic events that marked the early history of the Earth, including seas of magma, global glaciations and mass extinctions, he demonstrates how the climate has fluctuate...

Spektrum Kompakt - Vulkane

Vulkane sind eine tödliche Gefahr – und spenden Leben. Das zeigte sich 2018 zum Beispiel auf Hawaii, in Guatemala oder in Indonesien. In Zentralamerika starben Dutzende Menschen, als ein Feuervulkan extrem heiße und schnelle Ströme aus Asche und Gas ausspuckte. Auf Hawaii verloren zahlreiche Anwohner ihr Hab und Gut, als sich eine Lavaspalte am Kilauea öffnete. Doch wenn die erkaltete Lava verwittert, entstehen sehr fruchtbare Böden, die der Landwirtschaft hohe Erträge sichern. Auch deshalb kehren Menschen immer wieder ins Umfeld der Vulkane zurück – und hoffen, dass der nächste Ausbruch lange auf sich warten lässt.

Enzyme Handbook 14

Today, as the large international genome sequence projects are gaining a great amount of public attention and huge sequence data bases are created it be comes more and more obvious that we are very limited in our ability to access functional data for the gene products -the proteins, in particular for enzymes. Those data are inherently very difficult to collect, interpret and standardize as they are highly distributed among journals from different fields and are often sub ject to experimental conditions. Nevertheless a systematic collection is essential for our interpretation of the genome information and more so for possible appli cations of that knowledge in the fields of medicine, agricult...
